On Tuesday, Microsoft announced it had discontinued the USB adapter for the Kinect sensor, a pioneering motion-sensing accessory line for the Xbox 360 and Xbox One that sold almost 30 million units in its lifetime. Microsoft had discontinued the Kinect sensor itself in the Fall of 2017.
Just so, does Xbox Kinect work with Xbox one?
Xbox 360 Kinect is not compatible with Xbox One and thus cannot work with it. The Kinect sensor that was part of Xbox 360 was based on an old technology and is incompatible with newer games launched on Xbox One requiring a Kinect sensor.
Likewise, can you still buy Xbox Kinect?
“After careful consideration, we decided to stop manufacturing the Xbox Kinect Adapter to focus attention on launching new, higher fan-requested gaming accessories across Xbox One and Windows 10,” a Microsoft spokesperson said in a statement to Polygon.
What is Kinect for Xbox?
The Kinect hardware is used to send infrared (IR) signals to your cable or satellite box, TV, and sound system. This allows your Xbox One to switch between channels, turn your hardware on and off, and control volume levels.
